1. People that drive 20mph under the speed limit in the right hand lane of a dual carriageway because they happen to be turning right in 3 miles time!! Especially those driving 'hot hatches' like Miss Daisy!
2. Mobile phones being used for texting/ calling etc when driving - you're not concentrating on the road!!!
3. Mmmmmm 3rd one - a toss up, would it be not indicating and hoping I am using the 'force' to know what you're doing; not acknowledging being let out etc; weavers and undertakers (the kind that speed past on the inside lane despite you actually being held up by the people at No.1); women doing make up while driving; or maybe anyone driving a Citroen - especially they pretend MPV ones (sorry, I just hate Citroens!!)

1. Being sat in a long queue of traffic on the way to work when some asshole drives past me in the bus lane because they think the rules don't apply to them
2. Parents dropping kids off at school by just stopping dead in the middle of the road, who then precede to delay the whole process of the kids getting out by asking them at that exact point if they've remembered their PE kit.
3. Police who think speed limits don't apply to them, if they're responding to an emergency they should have their lights on, otherwise they are bound by the same traffic laws as the rest of us.

1. 'Baby on board' signs... WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW THIS?? .... Oh ok, I was going to intentionally ram you off the road, but since you have your offspring with you I'll let you off...
I asked my sister and her husband this as they have just had a baby and my sister did point out that it does tell other drivers that you may take a while loading stuff into your car so you might want to find another space instead of waiting for them to pull out.

Drivers who think their driving is perfect and who fail to be tolerant of the different driving habits and mistakes of other drivers.

Doesn't apply to Mini drivers of course - we ARE all perfect (but only in our old Mini!!!) haha

We all have to accept that the UK driving test is very basic and in no way confirms ability to drive or even the aptitude to do so safely. You only start to learn to actually drive after you pass that basic test.
With the huge volume of traffic on our roads we all have to learn tolerance of others and the mistakes we all make in daily driving. It's not going to get any less either and there will be more controls on how we are allowed to drive on the public roads with these controls electronically monitored and enforced.
Just drive as smoothly and efficiently as possible and learn from those with more experience and ability. Be tolerant of what you perceive as bad driving and realise that there are always those who won't like the way you drive sometimes.
